IT management has
become mission critical to the economies of the developed
world. Over the next few years, leading
IT organizations will gradually move from
identifying infrastructure problems to providing business
services via auto-mated, intelligent management systems. These
future management systems must provide global scalability, for
instance, to support Grid computing
and large numbers of pervasive devices.

Management systems must also support the management of
business processes and their supporting technology
infrastructure as integrated entities. They will need to
significantly reduce the amount of adventitious, bootless data
thrown at consoles, delivering instead a cogent view of the
system state, while leaving the handling of lower level events
to self-managed, multifarious systems and devices. A new
emphasis is emerging on "autonomic" computing, building
systems that can perform routine tasks without administrator
intervention and take prescient actions to rapidly recover
from potential software or hardware failures.
Web services, with public interfaces and
bindings described using XML, are often
proposed as the latest model for interaction between
management systems and applications.
These
are some of the large background issues that provide a setting
for the specific topics that are covered by the papers in
these proceedings. Topic areas include
Provisioning,
Modeling, Wireless,
Quality of
Service, Faults,
Power, Optical,
Configuration, Peer to
Peer, Intrusion Detection,
Accounting, Policies,
and Performance Management

This volume contains the proceedings of the
Eighth
IFIP/IEEE
International Symposium on Integrated Network
Management (IM 2003), which was
jointly sponsored by the International
Federation for Informa-tion Processing (
IFIP) and the IEEE
Communications Society.
The conference
convened in Colorado Springs,
Colorado, USA in
2003 With contributions from
researchers and practitioners from
Europe, America and
Asia, this volume provides a
comprehensive snapshot of the current state of the art in
network and systems management.
